LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -

Black Book is now available to dealers using TradeVue, an omnichannel inventory, and customer acquisition tool that provides plug-n-play conversion technologies such as trade-in appraisals, price reassurance reports, market analytics, and other premium product.

It was announced Tuesday that Black Book's data has been integrated into TradeVue, and Black Book’s integration is already on the TradeVue platform as of the time of the release. Black Book valuations and enhanced vehicle matching provide more valuation precision for TradeVue using dealers, the companies shared. 

“With inventory low and wholesale valuations high, it has never been more important for dealers to provide customers with a precise trade-in valuation,” said Derek White, co-founder of TradeVue, in a news release. “The integration of Black Book’s data and analytics into TradeVue will help our dealers make an extremely competitive offer on trade-in vehicles and convert more customers. Additionally, our dealers will be able to adjust their ranges so they can decide how aggressive they want to be when going after a particular vehicle.”

With inventory low, TradeVue also offers a Text-My-Trade tool, so dealers can send a trade-in certificate via text to mobile devices, while simultaneously copying their dealership, and the Black Book integration will help ensure data is even more accurate and up-to-date. 

“Black Book’s integration with TradeVue will give dealers the precise data they need in this market,” said Jared Kalfus, executive vice president of revenue at Black Book, said in the release. “Our Enhanced Vehicle Matching will give dealers the confidence that the VIN decodes they see are accurate, which then gives them the most precise valuation possible.”

In other recent partnership and integration news to stem from the company, Black Book formed a relationship with CarDr.com that will focus on data points to help dealers better identify vehicles with lower risks and higher potential profitability.

And in May, Black Book integrated its data into Vettx, an auto industry software provider, stating that the partnership will provide dealers with more data to make faster, more accurate decisions.
